Microsoft Develops a Faster Touchscreen With Only One Millisecond of Lag

Microsoft's Applied Science Group develops a touchscreen with only a single millisecond of latency.

From PCWorld:

Touchscreens are supposed to offer us the most direct finger-to-screen interaction with our devices, but have you ever noticed that it takes a split second for something to actually happen?

This lag is known as touchscreen latency, and it's enough to cause a disconnect of sorts for those who notice it. Microsoft’s Applied Science Group is close to solving touchscreen latency with a touch device that reacts within a single-millisecond.
